Turkey Condemns US Sanctions Over Jailed Pastor

The US has imposed sanctions on Turkey over the continued detention of American pastor Andrew Brunson.

Turkey says it will retaliate against US sanctions on the Turkish justice and interior ministers over the continued detention of an American pastor on terrorism charges. Andrew Brunson has been held for nearly two years over alleged links to political groups. It is unprecedented for the US to hit a Nato ally with sanctions - we get reaction from Turkey's representative to the alliance.

Also in the programme: Why cocaine production in Colombia has reached unprecedented levels and how the country is trying to fight back; and we speak to a close ally of Moise Katumbi, the Congolese opposition leader set to return after two years in exile.
